Music Spotting: Beck’s Sound & Vision

Written by Casey

Beck’s cover of David Bowie’s Sound & Vision

The “Sound and Vision” song is so iconic and Beck does not let Bowie fans down. It makes you want to dance and sing a long. It is a really interesting experience as it transcends a concert like feel through an internet video.

“The Hello, Again performance started with an idea – reimagine David Bowie’s classic, ‘Sound and Vision.’ But it became more than another cover. It became an experience that presented a fresh take on the possibilities of the once familiar, for both the audience and  the performers.

The show doesn’t stop with the live performance. In collaboration with Beck,Director Chris Milk is creating a digital experience that is fully immersive. By capturing the concert with 360-degree cameras and 360-degree binaural microphones, online viewers will have the opportunity to experience the show from any and every seat in the house.

This digital experience will allow online viewers to click through a variety of lenses to view the show, as well as experience three distinct and different sound origins: an outer microphone that captures the 160+ musicians up close, an inner microphone that represents what the studio audience hears, and finally a central microphone that lets you hear what Beck hears.”
